THERE is one minister at least in the
country whose example refutes the oft
repeated assertion that preachers work
for pay more than anything else. The
gentleman lives in Detroit, his name is
Rev. w. II. Davis, and he is pastor of the
First Congregational church of that city.
On Sunday at church meeting the pas
tors salary was increased $500 per year,
and this addition was to be looked upon
a Christmas gift. Before the sermon
that morning Mr.. DAVIS acknowledged in
fitting terms the kindly regard that had
prompted the gift, but, while conceeding
that money Is a commodity that preach
ers can use to advantage, declared his
determination not TO accept the gener-
GUS present while 80 much suffering pre-
vailed round about. He urged the secre-
tary to take the money and relieve the
wants of the poor. The pastors sugges-
ton will be acted upon in accordance
With his wishes. The Rev. Davis recent
ly refused $4,000 call to Boston, as
signing AZ his reason that there is work
in Detroit for ami energetic minister.
Mr.. Davis is an ealnest, liberal-minded
scholar and gsnu pc lover of his fellow
man,

WOKE up EUROPE.
Foreign Countries Much Con-
cerned Over the Rumored
Treaty With Mexico.
Text Of the Treaty Not Yet Made Pub
lle-ClOser Monetary Relations
the Main Object.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-Some days ago
the statement was made that the Mexi-
can government was endeayoring to ne
gotiate an international monetary treaty.
This statement appears to have been ca
bled to Europe, and since that time the
representatives of foreign governments
here have been charged by cable
to endeavor to ascertain what prop
osition has been made. It is
not believed that they have succeeded.
It can only be said that the Mexican
minister, Mr.. Romero, has approached
the state department with suggestion
that his government will be glad to
secure treaty of the general character
| indicated and that the representatives of
| the two governments have the subject
under consideration. The chief currency
| of Mexico is silver dollars, which are now
not far from 80 psr cent. discount as COM
| pared with the American dollar. 1t is
| suggested that the basis Of the
| plan proposed by the Mexican minister is
that an international silver certificate
shall be issued to a certain amount, to be
! current in the two countries, the differ
ence in the exchange in the two countries
to be settled in some way annually be-
tween the two respective governments,
! the government against which the
exchange is to pay the balance to
the other government in gold. Such
plan would apparently give the PEG.
pie of the two countries the benefits OF
mutual trade, and would cause the gov
eminent, against which the discount is,
to stand the loss. The hints given out
are so vague that the nature of the certif-
cate proposition as stated cannot be well
| understood. But it is evident that those
European governments which have Of
late years succeeded in establishing ex.
| tensive trade relations with Mexico are
| concerned at these reports.

BARABoo IRON MINES.

Members of the Syndicate in Chicago in

CHICAGO, Dec. 27.-The members of the
syndicate representing the recently-dis-

Wis, near DEVILS Lake, are here repre-
senting their interests to Chicago rolling
mill men and other manufacturers. j.
H. Knox, Of st. Paul, who is at the Pa

ready formed. He says that the new
range is composed Of 1000
acres. The main company is
the Bessemer Range and Mining COM
pany, which is capitalized at 5000, 00O.
This company controls the land, and sub
leases to minor companies, ten of which
have been organized, and six are paying
royalties to the parent company. Less
than year ago this range was looked
upon as containing nothing but iron
paint, but in digging a well ore was
found that assayed high. 1t is hoped tc
interest several large Chicago concerns.
